William and Harry are taken—fine—but there's still hope for those trying to live their lives as royally as possible. Your first order of business: Overhauling your diet. Here's what a bunch of royals actually consume in a day.
Meghan Markle loves wine.
Sure, yes, don't we all, etc., but she actually told Delish pre-Harry that vino is one of her vices. She of course loves Tignanello so much she named her now-defunct lifestyle site after it, but noted "in the summer, though, when I'm out with my friends, it's rosé all day."
She's big on water first thing in the morning.
Hot water with lemon, specifically. On shoot days (#TBT Suits, omg), she used to follow that up with steel-cut oatmeal with bananas.
The rest of the day involves protein.
Again, this was back when she was on TV, but one has to imagine her clean eating schedule of a salad with a bit of protein and snack of apples and almond butter isn't so different now.
She might green juice, if she's feeling it.
Meghan will do the green juice thing if she's feeling peckish, but she noted "green juice is a food-as-medicine philosophy for me." It's certainly not her fav.
She's not opposed to further snacking.
If all the above doesn't cut it, she's really into almonds as a healthy and filling snack.
Hiatus meant "all bets [were] off".
"I'm always hoping I'm having lunch with people, so we can share fries. It's its own food group for me," Meghan said. Yes. The Duchess loves her some French fries whenever she can get her hands on them. Stars: They're just like us!
If fries don't cut it, she'll make poutine.
Having spent years in Canada shooting Suits, Meghan mastered poutine. Mozz is not the way to top it all of, she said. "It's got to squeak when you bite into it. Really. The cheese curds should make a squeaking noise when you bite into them or squeeze them. That's how you know you've got the right kind."
Dinner is generally lighter fare.
If she goes all in on lunch, she's usually "peckish" around dinner time. She named soup as a usual option for later in the day.
She's a grill master.
Meghan likes steak. In fact, her little-known steak hack is to squeeze lemon all up on the meat right before serving: "It really brings out the steak's flavor."
She's cut one staple from her rotation.
Yeah, the Duchess wasn't allowed to have much garlic at all anymore, especially not ahead of royal visits. That's because (1) it's not really nice to have bad breath, per royal protocol and (2) Queen Elizabeth just hated it.
Queen Camilla didn't follow that rule, though!
Maybe it's that she's been thoroughly immersed in #RoyalLiving for a lot longer than Meghan has, but the Queen reportedly loves spicy and garlic-laden foods, eating them whenever she can.
Oh, and Meghan's pretty much gluten free.
Though she is 100-percent down to try pasta in new places, she pointed to going gluten free as what really helped her skin start glowing.
Meghan heavily influences Harry's new food routine.
He reportedly swore off pizza — a staple of his lil royal life! — long before the wedding. He's also said to have cut out carbs almost entirely, at least while he was in the lead-up to his wedding.
Princess Catherine is more of a dinner gal.
She's said to enjoy curry — both making it and eating it. She'll make it not just for her family, but also for any guests who come over.
She, too, dieted ahead of her wedding.
Princess Catherine reportedly stuck to a super high protein, low carb regimen before her 2011 wedding to William. It's unclear if Kate still maintains this routine, but she was said to be super strict with it around that time.
She's down with raw foods.
Her go-to's include ceviche and gazpacho.
She looks to raw foods to lose weight.
Post-Princess Charlotte, Catherine supposedly turned to a more fruit- and vegetable-forward routine. She was said to be super into ceviche, goji berries, gazpacho, watermelon salad, almond milk and tabbouleh after giving birth, not only because it was delish, but also because it helped her lose the weight she wanted to get rid of.
She's never mad about dessert.
Again, she's really into holiday foods, meaning come time for Christmas feasting, she's all about the cakes and pastries and batches of other sweet stuff that's involved. ILY, Catherine!!
Nor does she shy away from gaining weight the healthy way.
Catherine famously battled hyperemesis gravidarum during her pregnancies, which made it incredibly difficult for her to gain the weight needed to sustain herself. During those periods, she constantly turned to meals filled with healthy fats, like avocados, berries, and oatmeal.
